IMPROVEMENT IN ENKSTANDS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. ESQQF, dated January 7,1873.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM M. BROOKE, of Eaton, in the county of Prebleand State of Ohio, have invented certa-in new and useful Improvements inInk Wells or Stands; and I do hereby declare that the following is afull, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to theaccompanying drawing and to the letters ot' reference `marked thereonwhich form a part of this speciiieation.

My invention relates to inkstands or inkwells to be used in connectionwith schooli'urniture; and it cons-ists in an inkstand or inkwellconstructed to be fastened to the back of the seat-back, above the desk'in a combined school seat and desk, commonly known as a combinationseat and desk.

In order to enable others skilled in the art to which my inventionappertains to make and use the same, I Will now proceed to describe itscon struction and operation, referring to the annexed drawing, in which-Figure l is a perspective View of a combination seat and desk with aninkstand or inkwell fastened to the same; and Fig. 2 is an enlargedperspective view of my inkstand or inkwell.

A represents the seat proper, B the back of the same, O the desk, and Ethe book-case under the desk, ot' a combined school seat and deskconstructed in any of the known and usual ways. D represents an inkstandor ink- Well of glass or other suitable material, the rear side of Whichis at or straight and the ing Gis ofthe same genera-l shape as the standI), and has on each side an ear, b, through which a screw -is to pass tofasten it, with the stand, to the back of the seat-back B above the deskC, as shown in Fig. I.

The stand D can readily be dropped into the casing, and as readily beremoved from the same, for cleaning' or other purposes, after removingthe top, as the bottom ofthe casing is partially open, so that the standcan be pushed up with the finger.

J is the top plate ofthe casing, fastened to the same by screws e e, andis provided with a hole for the passage of the pen, said hole beingcovered by a pivoted or sliding lid, d.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, anddesire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The combination of the stand D, casing G, ears b, and top J, said topfastened to the casing by screws e e, all constructed and arrangedsubstantially as herein set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I affix my signaturein presence of two Witnesses.

WILLIAM M. BROOKE.
